Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
A lot of anti-Scientologists who haven’t been around for very long accuse Alanzo of never criticizing Scientology. They say he only criticizes Anti-Scientologists for all their tribalism and cruelty.
Yet Alanzo has been one of the most prolific and productive critics of the Church of Scientology in the last 20 years. And he has the real OSA fair game scars to prove it.
Alanzo finds he has to constantly repeat himself because no one who is around now knows who Alanzo is. Most of the rest of the old guard Scientology critics have drifted off or died.
I guess this happens to everyone who gets old.
This page is a collection of all of Alanzo’s criticism of:
the Church of Scientology,
Scientology technology,
David Miscavige,
Mike Rinder,
Marty Rathbun,
L. Ron Hubbard,
and Tom Cruise,
And these are just the blog posts he’s written criticizing Scientology. There is at least 5 times more criticism of Scientology, in terms of word count, on message boards around the Internet.
This collection of Alanzo’s Scientology criticism is presently over 130 posts. It will continue to grow.
So next time someone tells you that Alanzo only criticizes Anti-Scientologists, give them the link to this page.
I wrote this after dealing with a swarm of Scientologists on the Internet: I’ve seen it now. It is unmistakable. It works like this: You present an idea that has NOTHING to do with Scientology, and the Scientologist must relate it to something in Scientology to “understand” what you are talking about. Example: I wrote … Read more
And they deserve closure. No person who is loyal and sycophantic to those who refuse to provide the information necessary to help people who have been harmed by Scientology are likely to be a credible journalistic source for those scrambling to make a buck at Scientology reporting. That’s a long sentence, but if you read … Read more
The sooner you take the blind spots off of your view of L Ron Hubbard and his spiritual deception called Scientology, the better off you are. It’s like removing a band aid, or getting your privates waxed – do it fast, scream loudly, and start running. After reading Marty’s book this morning, I can see that … Read more
The first book I purchased at a Scientology Mission was “Hymn of Asia”. And that is because it was the first book on Scientology offered to me at the mission to buy. They offered it to me because I told them that I was interested in and studying Buddhism. I was told that Scientology is … Read more
Because Scientologists & anti-Scientologists hold emotionally founded beliefs, expect these ideals to be violated on any Blog, Youtube Channel or Facebook group.
I left the Church of Scientology in 2000, and have been doing what I can to warn the public about the lies and abuse that L. Ron Hubbard and the executives of the Church of Scientology have been waging against spiritual seekers who came to Scientology and trusted it as their chosen religion. From their … Read more
“Knowledge of the enemy’s dispositions can only be obtained from other men. Hence the use of spies, of whom there are five classes: (1) Local spies; (2) inward spies; (3) converted spies; (4) doomed spies; (5) surviving spies. When these five kinds of spy are all at work, none can discover the secret system. This … Read more
It is the goal of every Scientology Celebrity to get Scientology onto the cover of People Magazine. Leah Remini has now done it. This is an interview with the journalist who spoke to Leah for People Magazine. If you’ve never purchased a copy of People Magazine, now is the time.
I think Leah Remini is a great example of the type of person who got themselves involved in Scientology – and then who left it – for all the right reasons.
Of all the books that have been written about Scientology, if you had only one shot to communicate to someone what Scientology was all about, I would give them John Sweeney’s “Church of Fear”.
At around the 1:30 mark you can see pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Lawrence Wright, call Scientology’s Sea Organization “The Clergy” in Scientology. This is just one time when both of these excellent journalists called Scientology’s Sea Organization, a “clergy” or “priesthood”. It was part of their messaging when they promoted “Going Clear” in many interviews … Read more
A Scientology World would look just like this: They would be able to dictate every book that you could read, every movie that you could watch, and every thought that you could think. The Hollywood Reporter, 9/18/2015: Florida Theater Drops Scientology Film ‘Going Clear’ After Pressure From Church “Clearwater, Florida is home of the world … Read more
One thing to remember about Tony Ortega – even he doesn’t consider himself an unbiased, objective journalist on the subject of Scientology.
When I was first getting out of Scientology around 13 years ago, I was talking to an ex-Scientologist who worked at the Lisa McPherson Trust. She received phone calls and emails from people getting out of Scientology all day long at her job there. I told her that one of the things I’m struggling with … Read more
I tweeted this out today. For 8 yrs, @MikeRinder's operated on the #Scientology Bean Theory of Truth & Reconciliation:For every bean I spend, I get more in return. — Alanzo (@AlanzosBlog) March 29, 2017 It's time for @MikeRinder to stop spending beans, and to start spilling them. Address the Old Guard #scientology critics you have … Read more
Gerry has an interesting viewpoint on Jon Atack and Chris Shelton’s allegiance and mutual promotional efforts of each other. ” I do not mean that Mr. Shelton’s arrogance or narcissism is a concern to him, but should be a concern to people who might look to him for guidance or tout his humility. Perhaps you … Read more
The end of Scientology abuse will come though many different routes, but it is clear now that it must mostly come from Independent Scientologists themselves.
I am eternally grateful to Rathbun & Rinder for what they’ve done. They’ve paid their “debt” for any wrongdoing. What their life must have been like. I wouldn’t trade places. Would you?
Atheists are really bad about understanding other human beings’ religious beliefs. They really don’t get the nature of belief at all, while being ruled by their own beliefs. All this is such giggily freaking fun for this TV show.
There is no substitute for being willing to see things from someone else’s perspective when you are in a disagreement or dispute with them.
